What should I do if I can't afford regular therapy sessions?

If you can't afford regular therapy, consider sliding-scale providers, group therapy, online options, or spacing sessions further apart.

If cost is a barrier to regular therapy, there are several options to explore. Many therapists offer sliding-scale fees based on income. Community mental health centers often provide affordable services. Group therapy is typically less expensive than individual sessions and can be very effective. Online therapy platforms may offer lower-cost options. Some therapists offer payment plans or reduced-rate slots for clients in need.

You might also consider spacing sessions further apart - meeting every two weeks or monthly instead of weekly. Don't let cost prevent you from getting help - many providers are willing to work with you to make therapy accessible.
